Good 33ยบ it SNOWED morning!
Yesterday was soooooooooooooooooo gloomy dark and cloudy.... you can still see remnants of the snow on my mountain...
And Dude was keeping and eye on the gate.....
The rain started about 2pm and we got 1/2". Then when I got up this morning we were COVERED in snow! The weather people said we'd get some rain down here and snow at the 2500' and higher. Wrong!
There doesn't look like any snow in Medford or all of Grants Pass, just the higher spots... but this is our off and on ramps for Rogue River...
Before I could get my computer to work I had to put on my snow boots and grab a broom and clean off the satellite dishes for the computer and for the TV.

Pasta lovers will enjoy a traditional stuffed pasta during National Tortellini Day on February 13!
Tortellini is a signature dish from the Italian region of Bologna, where they claim to have created this stuffed pasta packed with flavor. Ravioli, tortellini, and tortellacci are all part of the same family of stuffed pasta. The most common fillings for tortellini are ham, white meat, and Parmesan cheese.
An organization called The Learned Order of the Tortellini in the city of Bologna has its members wear to the meetings red and gold hats that are shaped like tortellini. They also wear a ribbon, around their neck that has a gold shaped tortellini hanging on it. The Learned Order of the Tortellini has a large membership that is dedicated to the preservation of the traditional tortellini.
There are many ways to prepare a tortellini dish. You may want to top it with a cheese sauce, cream sauce, pesto or tomato sauce, or follow one of the thousands of cooking blogs available for a great tortellini recipe.
